Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
Kickstarter Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
All of this should show up in June.

Caption (at top): The Five Pillars of Bubbleopolis (minus Alyss Roaz, absent)

Colón: First we need to beef up our defenses so another strike like this will fail.
Caption: Enrique Colón
Panel 2
Focus on Kofi, next to Colón. He's speaking to Verma, who we see from high and behind.
Kofi: How soon can we double the perimeter outposts?
Caption: Kofi Akosah
Verma (OP): In about 10 days. But that won't do much good.
Kofi: Why not?
Panel 3
Include Verma and Kāng, flanked by Martello and Montoya
Kāng: Because a two-megaton iron 'space-turd' coming in at 9/10ths of light-speed would blow right through anything we might throw at it to stop it.
Panel 4
Martello smiles, leans back in his chair
Martello: Gennelmens, I recommend you set up those extra perimeter stations, pronto.
Martello: I have an idea how we can deal with any more high-speed turds, iron or otherwise.
Martello: I just need a one-minute warning.
